HTC Set To Release Its Exclusive Apps To The Rest Of Android

HTC is set to release its in-house
apps to other android enabled
devices.

HTC has been making Android
skins and apps for a long time, but
now the company wants its home-
grown software to conquer more
devices.
According to report from Recode,
the Taiwanese phonemaker has
started developing apps for
Android phones in general,
courtesy of a new business unit
called HTC Creative Labs.
The Creative Labs team’s first
product is called Zoe (originally
available on the One M7), which
has the power to stitch together up
to 16 videos or images. You merely
need to select a theme along with
the images/videos, as well as a
soundtrack, and it can
automatically create a highlight
reel.
HTC also developed Zoe to be able
to share creations, so friends and
family can tweak them, perhaps in
an effort to come up with an
Instagram or Vine of its own.
Still, the app’s pretty basic at this
point, and while it’ll be available to
competitors like Samsung and LG, it
can only be installed on high-end
devices loaded with Android 4.4.
HTC has plans to help boost Zoe’s
presence despite those limitations,
though, including forging
partnerships with music and sports
companies.
The new Zoe will come out later this
week, with more to follow, as the
Creative Labs team plans to release
other HTC apps from its own
phones’ confines in the future.
